|
 Sukhothai Once capital of Thailand and symbol of a glorious period in Thai history, Sukhothai now rightly draws visitors for the ruins of its temples.
|
 Si Satchanalai While Sukhothai is famous, Si Satchanalai is often forgotten. That seems to be a mistake, the temples and nature of Si Satchanalai park are very worth the trip.

|
 Wat Phra Mahathat In the wealth of temples and ruins of Ayutthaya, Wat Mahathat is among the oldest. As we found out, it has much more to offer than the famous Buddha head in the roots of a tree.
|
 Wat Phanan Choeng As soon as you enter the small space of the wihaan, the golden Buddha right in front of you silences you through its size and brilliance. But let this giant not distract you from walking around it.
